Songs for Mr. T

One of our Song Of The Day Brothers has recently been hit with some difficult health issues. Without revealing too many personal details, SOTD founding member Mr. T is recovering from a lung condition. We here at Song Of The Day realize and appreciate the importance of human connections in our daily lives. Music often finds itself between the open spaces of our day to day routines. This Friday we salute Mr. T and offer our support with songs inspired by our brother and friend...

Rob

Matthew Good Band - "Everything Is Automatic"

Mr. T

Styx - "Lady"

G-Man

High Holy Days - "River Of Styx"

One of the biggest bands to come out of my home town of North Bay, ON. I know it's not much, but this song was great, no matter where they came from. The remixed it for their official debut, but I prefer the one that played on North Bay radio a few years before.

Doug

Macklemore - "Drug Dealer"

Dano

Orange Goblin - "The Filthy and The Few"

Jonny HP

Alexisonfire - "Dead Hearts"

Music For The Vesper

Rob

Incubus - "Nice To Know You"

Mr. T

Rihanna - "Cheers (Drink To That)"

Boston - "Foreplay/Long Time"

G-Man

Boston - "Peace Of Mind"

This song can stop me in my tracks. Mr. T and I got to talking about Boston after we made our picks. The self-titled album by Boston is not only one of the best ever, but perhaps the best ever debut album. Who else ya got? "Peace Of Mind" is a rocking good track, but can also mellow me out. Just what i'm looking forward to for the long weekend

Doug

Aloe Blacc - "Make Way"

Dano

The Darkness - "Get Your Hands Off My Woman"

The Darkness - "Black Shuck"

These songs need each other

A Rush Past the Ears; A Lifetime In Memory

Rob

Mos Def - "Ms. Fat Booty"

Mr. T

Stray Cats - "Rock This Town"

G-Man

Funeral For A Friend - "Streetcar"

I May have picked this one before. Who gives a care though? I'm always transported back to late 2005, early 2006 when I hear this. A time of great liberation for me. Musical discovery. Everynight I would dive head first into the web and come out with pockets full of new tracks. Bottles filled with feelings from those days would be difficult to keep on the shelves.

Doug

Childish Gambino - "This Is America"

Note from G-Man: Great Pick

Dano

Queens Of The Stone Age - "Song For The Deaf"

Jonny HP
